The penthouse view is not so great
for seeing details like expression
on the beggars face in the city park.
Private jets fly much too high
to pick up hitchhikers along
that lonesome country road.
And Capitol Hill is much too steep
for the poor to climb
they clamber at it's foot.
Nobody asks that you walk along that lonely road,
or beg in a city park.
We only ask you don't look past
the ones who do below you.
